Hierarchical Precarity: Dance Hosting, Labor Struggles, and Masculine Insecurities in China
Young Chinese male migrant workers partner with middle-aged women in dance halls, and sell intimacy and romantic relationships in everyday locations as “dance hosts.” Dance hosts experience considerable job precarity and masculine insecurities. While frequently expressing a desire to leave, most hosts remain in the profession and perpetuate their precarious existence. This article explores the relationship between precarity as a labor condition a…
Between the Internal and External: Paradigms, Perspectives, and Periodization in Chinese Scholarship on Ancient Syrian Civilization
The existence of an ‘ancient Syrian civilization’ remains an unresolved, ‘Schrödinger-like’ paradox within the field of world ancient history in China. Divergences in the conceptual construction of civilization have led Chinese scholars to adopt two primary approaches to the study of ancient Syrian history. The first approach suspends the debate regarding the existence of a distinct civilization, focusing instead on positivist case studies. The s…
Esketamine ameliorates depression-like behavior in mice via modulation of the NRG1–ErbB4 pathway
Background Esketamine has a significant and rapid antidepressant effect. Although studies have shown that Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) and it’s signaling pathway are associated with depression, the possible regulatory relationship of esketamine on the NRG1-ErbB4 pathway is not yet clear. Methods To induce depressive-like behavior in mice, a Chronic Social Defeat Stress (CSDS) model was established. Behavioral indicators were then employed to assess depres…

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Attribution Analysis of Multitemporal Runoff Patterns for Water Resources and Climate Security in Huaihe River Basin
Understanding the spatiotemporal evolution and attribution of streamflow is critical for effective water resource management and climate security. This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of runoff dynamics across multiple temporal scales in the Huaihe River basin, which is a major hydrological region in China. By examining annual, interannual, and interdecadal trends, the research delineates tendencies, abrupt changes, and periodicity in run…
Middle‐ and Long‐Term Runoff Forecast Model for Water Resource and Climate Security Based on Self‐Attention Mechanism
Reliable middle‐ and long‐term streamflow forecasts are critical for ensuring water resources management and climate security. This study establishes a novel runoff forecasting model based on the self‐attention (SA) mechanism and variational mode decomposition‐gated recurrent unit (VMD‐GRU) framework to improve monthly streamflow prediction accuracy. The maximal information coefficient (MIC) method is adopted to screen key drivers of runoff varia…
How Digital Media Usage Predicts Chinese Children’s Intention to Consume Unhealthy Food: Mediated by Accessibility and Moderated by Digital Media Engagement
Childhood overweight and obesity has become a severe public health concern worldwide including in China. Previous research has found that exposure to food-related information via digital media may predict unhealthy food consumption through one’s attitudes and perceived social norms. However, food choice can also be a process of automaticity. Drawing upon cultivation theory, theory of normative social behavior, and the notion of accessibility, the…

Welfare migration or migrant selection? Social insurance participation and rural migrants’ intentions to seek permanent urban settlement in China
The welfare system can be a crucial factor in the urban settlement of rural migrants, but its effects are difficult to determine because to do so one must distinguish the effect of welfare entitlement from the effect of ‘migrant selectivity bias’, which widely exists in cities in developing countries. Using survey data from 15 Chinese cities, this study examines the ways in which social insurance – the most critical social welfare package in Chin…
The effect of health on urban-settlement intention of rural-urban migrants in China
Previous studies have not paid enough attention to the effect of health on urban-settlement intention of rural-urban migrants in China. Using survey data from the Rural Urban Migration in China project, this article examines how self-rated physical and mental health influence rural-urban migrants' intention to settle down in cities. First, the results show that both self-rated physical and mental health are significant factors influencing the mig…

Adopting the family strengths perspective, we identified the strategies employed by the migrant population to manage family life, the reliance on family networks for help and support, and their means of coping with the lack of equal access to state-provided benefits and services. We…
Social Determinants of Health and Mental Health Among Asian Americans in the United States
Although Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing ethnic minority groups in the United States, research on this population continues to lag behind that on other minorities. In this article, we take factors recognized as critical elements to the physical and mental health outcomes of Asian Americans and apply the social determinants of health (SDH) framework to reconceptualize these factors as structural or intermediary factors. This study u…
Intermarriage, Ethnic Identity, and Perceived Social Standing Among Asian Women in the United States
This study investigates the consequences of Asian women's intermarriage—whether it is associated with higher social standing and lower ethnic identity, using data on Asian women (N = 589) from the National Latino and Asian American Survey (NLAAS). The socioeconomic status of partners of women who intermarried and partners of women who married men of the same ethnicity are compared. The potential associations between intermarriage and two subjecti…
Coordinating community organizations in urban China
Since its introduction in the 1980s, China's housing privatization reform has gradually transformed urban residents into private homeowners, and reinforced disparities in housing allocation and living conditions. Various studies have analyzed the mobilization of private homeowners in newly built, upscale apartment complexes. Using data from field observations and in‐depth interviews conducted in five low‐income, urban neighborhoods in Beijing in …
Community nursing delivery in urban China: A social power perspective
Community nurses remain understudied in research on interactional power, especially in China where community healthcare is an emerging practice.

Through thematic analysis of textual data from 26 semi-structured interviews and two additional focus group discussions with community nurses in Shenzhen, we identi…
Seeking Help for Psychological Distress in Urban China
Based on data gathered through a household survey of 1,474 urban residents in Beijing, this study examines Chinese help‐seeking behaviors in times of psychological distress and perceived barriers to seeking professional help.

Reflecting on Mistakes in Practice among Social Workers in China
Reflection is widely practiced in human service professions, but little research has examined whether reflection actually translates into action and, if so, how.

The findings demonstrate that social workers in China are aware of being reflective, even crit…
Housing and identity expression among in‐situ urbanised rural residents in China
Housing is an important source of identity expression, but the influence of different housing attributes remains underexplored. Drawing on the ‘4Cs theory of housing’ (housing cost, housing conditions, housing consistency and housing context), this study established an analytical framework linking housing to in‐situ urbanised rural residents′ identity expression in China. Using data from the 2018 Urbanization and Quality of Life Survey, the resul…
